~Psalm 146~
1: Praise the Lord! Praise the Lord, O my soul!
2: I will praise the Lord while I live; I will sing praises to my God while I have my being.
3: Do not trust in princes, in mortal man, in whom there is no salvation.
4: His spirit departs, he returns to the earth; in that very day his thoughts perish.
5: How blessed is he whose help is the God of Jacob, whose hope is in the Lord his God,
6: Who made heaven and earth, the sea and all that is in them; Who keeps faith forever;
7: Who executes justice for the oppressed; Who gives food to the hungry. The Lord sets the prisoners free.
8: The Lord opens the eyes of the blind; the Lord raises up those who are bowed down; the Lord loves the righteous;
9: The Lord protects the strangers; He supports the fatherless and the widow, but He thwarts the way of the wicked.
10: The Lord will reign forever, your God, O Zion, to all generations. Praise the Lord!
